Judaism is not a Monotheism! The term Monotheism comes
from Greek Christological doctrines called:
MONOPHYSITISM, MONOTHELITISM. Judaism expresses
Hashem Echad. האחדות של אלוהים Ha'Echadut Shel Elohim- The oneness of G-d!
WHAT’S IN A WORD, WE STATE TERMS ALL THE TIME AND HAVE NO
REAL UNDERSTANDING OR AWARENESS OF ITS ORIGIN, WE
PROCLAIM JUDAISM AS A MONOTHEISM BUT WE ARE NOT AWARE
THAT IN STATING THIS WE ARE AFFILIATING OURSELVES WITH
MONOPHYSITISM AND MONOTHELITISM. GREEK CAN NOT
REMOVE OR ABSORB PAGANISM WITHIN ITS DEFINITIONS. I’VE
STUDIED ASPECTS OF GREEK AND IT CAN NOT!
All of the other religions in the world find placement amongst
variations of gods in creos, Christianity has in origin over 165
gods, Islam has 300 gods, all of which they have individually
tried monotheistically diverging from polytheism, pantheism
into a monotheistic mask. However truth be told, they in
origin have all had many different gods and none of them
other than Judaism is really in origin having a oneness from
origin, from beginning!
Now the term Monotheistic itself is Greek which I find
rather humorous to be quite frank, the Greeks were just as
pagan and pantheistic as Rome and further more there
offshoot pagan religion Christianity. Mono coming from the
Greek meaning: One which is a play on words really. There
Monotheistic or Monotheism comes from a doctrine called:
Monothelitism the Christiological doctrine developed in the
7th century CE for us AD for them to the effect of Tri-Theism
a pagan dogmatic naturalistic doctrine of Jesus having two
natures with a single will, the whole man while being god
falsity.
The point in mentioning this is we Jews do not ascribe to
Monotheism we ascribe in truth to Hashem Echad. האחדות של אלוהים Ha'Echadut Shel Elohim- The oneness of G-d! Because frankly the Greek term does not apply to nor was it ever meant towards the principal that there is but one G-d! All that you have to do is study its origin as monotheism comes from MONOPHYSITISM, MONOTHELITISM that is why Judaism and the early great Rabbis especially Sephardic was highly against the use of Greek terms within Jewish teachings because even if they relate a so called oneness of there god they are really speaking of a oneness between there multiplicitious gods 165 to be exact.
I would advise you to purchase a book called: Dictionary of
Philosophy and religion Eastern and Western thought by W.L.
Reese. Copyright 1980 which expresses a great deal in this
regard to these Greek terms and there real meanings from a
definition point of view.
Thus because Monotheism comes from those two Greek
doctrines we can not ascribe or affiliate or use that term
monotheism, as we do not ascribe to Monophystism and
Monothelitism, we ascribe to Tora and has already been
mentioned the first law we were taught in Shmot is to know
that there is but one G-d! You can not remove in origin the
multiplitious gods from the Greek and Rome/ Latin and
retranslate pagan terminology to fit Hebraic or Judaic
meanings, it won’t work and it doesn't apply!
The issue is people don’t study enough and but regurgitate
what they hear other people saying! So in truth the other two
religions can ascribe to themselves as being Monotheistic we
Jews can not! For the other two religions have a belief in that
monophystism and monothelitism
Tora and Judaism does not!
